We have chosen to administer oral Meriva, 500mg BID, in our patient population based on the above data. Meriva-500 is a curcumin formulation that also contains phosphatidylcholine, derived from soy that has been shown to aid in absorption of curcumin (9), permitting a lower overall dose of curcumin. Of note, 1000 mg Meriva contains 200 mg curcuminoids (>90% curcumin).
